METHOD OF CONTROLLING MUTUAL LOCATION OF UPPER AND LOWER JAWS IN PATIENTS WITH DYSFUNCTIONS IN TEMPORO-MANDIBULAR JOINTS AND DEVICE FOR ITS REALISATION Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A61C19/04 A61C7/02 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to medicine, namely to dentistry and are intended for control of mutual location of upper and lower jaws in patients with dysfunctions in temporo-mandibular joints at the stages of treatment. Device for control contains one miniimplant with asymmetrical as to the shape head for each jaw, one for each miniimplant wrench in form of three-dimensional shape of element with depression on one side, repeating in shape the shape of miniimplant head. Wrenches are made with possibilities of placement on miniimplant heads and rigid connection between each other in said position. One miniimplant with head of shaped form is implanted into interdental septum of upper and lower jaws of patients in fixed position of jaws. Individual wrench of cubic shape with internal depression on one of the sides, copying the shape of miniimplant head, is made for each miniimplant head. Wrenches are put on miniimplants, located in patient's mouth and are connected by means of non-shrinking dental plastic. After polymerisation wrenches are removed from heads of miniimplants. When patient stops using occlusal bus, control of mutual location of upper and lower jaws is realised by means of obtained spatial location of wrenches.

EFFECT: inventions make it possible to perform control of correction of spatial mutual location of upper and lower jaws due to coincidence of position of depressions in wrenches with position of miniimplant heads.
